Patient's question:
Daughter has been having stomach problems for the past two days. I thought it was gastroenteritis and gave her some medicine, but it hasn't improved. She's been having both diarrhea and vomiting. The doctor told me it could be acute appendicitis. I want to ask everyone how to deal with acute appendicitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in children is confirmed, early surgical treatment is recommended. If surgical treatment is not performed in a timely manner, it may lead to appendiceal abscess, perforation, late purulent spread throughout the abdominal cavity, diffuse peritonitis, septic shock, and even multiple organ failure. In severe cases, it can endanger the child's life. Conservative treatment: Depending on the child's condition, light food can be consumed to regulate gastrointestinal function.
